What are your iOS hidden gem apps (lemmy.world)

Preferably lesser known but game-changing apps that are able to be bought one-time and put all others to shame.

To help clarify your thinking, which apps have produced such an outrageous level of value (regardless of one-time cost) to the extent you believe it should be #1 in its category, not necessarily #1 app ever.

We'll do a seperate thread for Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, etc but let's stick to iOS for this one. Thanks Lemmings!

Unfortunately, that community is filled with anything but Apple enthusiasts…

I think if you really are someone who really uses Apple stuff to the extent its basically your ecosystem, you should be able to see some of the absurdities or sometimes the anti-user-friendly quirks that should be corrected.

For example, HomePod should have bluetooth in a addition to AirPlay. Fight me ;)

I will not, sir. I agree with you. Although I get why they don’t, at least on the big HomePods. Bluetooth audio quality sucks for such a nice speaker array.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They broke my fucking heart, lol. I was so ready to kick my Echo Dot to the curb but now I just use it as a glorified bluetooth speaker (What HomePod was supposed to be). There goes $150 I'm never getting back :(

[–] dpkonofa@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I only bought HomePods but I’m fully Apple as far as devices and any non-Apple devices have apps that allow them to Airplay so the only use case where Bluetooth would be helpful is for guests. I haven’t had a single one that needed to do that, though, that also didn’t have an iPhone.

If the next revision adds BT, it would be perfect.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agreed. I believe they will see the light. Just like MagSafe

[–] dpkonofa@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mmmm… MagSafe ❤️

I am so glad it exists for phones now too.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it back on Macbooks again? Should have never dropped it

[–] dpkonofa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is. My black MBA has it and so does my work MBP.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Fuck, shoulda waited
